BACKGROUND

This disclosure relates to a surgical instrumentation set and associatedtechniques for performing bone reconstruction surgery.

Repetitive trauma to a joint may cause bone loss. For example, recurrentdislocations of the shoulder joint may result in glenoid bone loss anddecreased glenohumeral stability. Current techniques for bonyreconstruction of the glenoid include use of a coracoid bone blockgraft, often referred to as the Latarjet procedure. However,reconstruction of the glenoid to treat glenohumeral instability remainsa challenge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This disclosure describes surgical instrumentation and relatedtechniques for reconstructing bone that is afflicted with areas of boneloss. An exemplary technique includes sizing and shaping a bone graft,such as an allograft, which is subsequently used to reconstruct thedamaged bone.

In some embodiments, a surgical instrumentation set includes a graftworkstation having a cutting jig configured to accept a plurality ofinterchangeable cutting blocks. The cutting blocks are used to guide acutting tool for making various cuts into a bone block for sizing andshaping the bone graft. In some embodiments, the bone graft is sized andshaped using the graft workstation to prepare a trapezoidal shaped bonegraft. In other embodiments, the bone graft is a distal tibia allograft.These and other features are described in greater detail in thefollowing paragraphs of this detailed description.

FIG. 1 illustrates a joint 10 of the human musculoskeletal system. Thejoint 10 could be any joint of the musculoskeletal system of the humanbody; however, in this non-limiting embodiment, the joint 10 isillustrated as the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder. The joint 10includes multiple bones including a scapula 12 and a humerus 16. Somebones of the joint 10 articulate relative to one another. For example,the joint 10 includes a ball and socket joint formed between a head 18of the humerus 16 and a glenoid 14, which is a cup-like recession of thescapula 12 configured to receive the head 18. Other bones of the joint10 include the acromion 20 and the coracoid process 22. A clavicle 24connects the acromion 20 to the sternum (not shown).

During sporting or other rigorous activities, the humerus 16 may becomedislocated or dislodged from the glenoid 14. When dislocation occurs,ligaments and/or other tissues can be torn away from the glenoid 14,resulting in instability of the joint 10. Recurring dislocations mayeventually lead to bone loss within the glenoid 14, thereby resulting infurther instability.

Referring now to FIG. 1B, the glenoid 14 may be reconstructed using abone graft 28 to stabilize the joint 10. In one non-limiting embodiment,the exemplary bone reconstruction surgeries described throughout thisdisclosure are performed as open procedures. The bone graft 28 may beattached to the glenoid 14 using one or more fasteners 30 (e.g.,screws). This disclosure describes a surgical instrumentation set andtechnique for preparing the bone graft 28 as part of a bonereconstruction procedure. Although bone reconstruction procedures of theshoulder joint are described throughout this disclosure, this disclosureis not intended to be limited to shoulder reconstructions. In otherwords, the surgical instrumentation set and techniques described hereincould be used to reconstruct any bone of any unstable joint.

FIG. 2 illustrates a surgical instrumentation set 32 for preparing thebone graft 28 (shown in FIG. 1B). For example, the surgicalinstrumentation set 32 can be employed to size, shape, cut and otherwiseprepare the bone graft 28 for subsequent attachment to the damagedportion of the glenoid 14. The exemplary surgical instrumentation set 32may include a graft workstation 34, a plurality of sizing blocks 36, aplurality of cutting blocks 38, a pair of parallel drill guides 40A(without prongs), 40B (with prongs), guide wires 42, a drill 44, guidepins 46, and a cutter guide 84. In one non-limiting embodiment, thesurgical instrumentation set 32 is provided as part of a kit forperforming bone reconstruction surgeries. Such a kit could include agreater or fewer number of surgical instruments than is shown in FIG. 2.

The graft workstation 34 provides a work space for safely and accuratelypreparing the bone graft 28 from a bone block. The sizing blocks 36 maybe used to size the bone graft 28 based on an estimated amount of boneloss. In one non-limiting embodiment, six sizing blocks 36 are provided.The sizing blocks 36 may be either 7 mm or 10 mm wide at the articularsurface with an opposing surface angle of either 5°, 10° or 15°. Othersizes may also be provided as part of the surgical instrumentation set32. The cutting blocks 38 may be used to make various cuts in the boneblock for sizing and shaping the bone graft 28. The parallel drillguides 40A, 40B, guide wires 42, drill 44, guide pins 46 and the cutterguide 84 may also be utilized as discussed below to help prepare thebone graft 28.

FIGS. 3A and 3B, with continued reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2,illustrate various features of the graft workstation 34 of the surgicalinstrumentation set 32. The graft workstation 34 may include a baseplate 50, a first graft holding post 52, a second graft holding post 54and a cutting jig 56. The base plate 50 may be elevated above a tabletopor other surface by a plurality of legs 58. A first slot 60 and a secondslot 62 are formed in the base plate 50. In one non-limiting embodiment,the first slot 60 and the second slot 62 intersect one another andextend at transverse angles relative to one another.

The first graft holding post 52 and the second graft holding post 54 maybe slideably received within the first slot 60 and may each be moved toa desired position relative to the base plate 50. Locking nut assemblies65 may be used to lock the positioning of each of the first graftholding post 52 and the second graft holding post 54. A spiked post 64may protrude upwardly from a surface 66 of the first graft holding post52 and is configured to receive and hold a bone block 68 (see, forexample, FIG. 3B).

The cutting jig 56 may be slideably received within the second slot 62and can be moved to a desired positon relative to both the base plate 50and the bone block 68. In one non-limiting embodiment, the cutting jig56 is configured to interchangeably receive one of the cutting blocks 38for harvesting the bone graft 28 from the bone block 68. In anothernon-limiting embodiment, the cutting jig 56 includes a telescoping arm70 that is movable to adjust a vertical positioning of the cuttingblocks 38 relative to the bone block 68. The telescoping arm 70 may bereleased for movement relative to the cutting jig 56 by manipulating ahandle 72. Another locking nut assembly 65 may be used to lock thepositioning of the cutting jig 56 relative to both the base plate 50 andthe bone block 68.

FIGS. 4-16 schematically illustrate an exemplary technique for sizingthe bone graft 28. Continued reference is made to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2, 3Aand 3B throughout the following description of FIGS. 4 through 16. FIGS.4 through 16 illustrate, in sequential order, one non-limitingembodiment for preparing the bone graft 28 using the surgicalinstrumentation set 32. It should be understood; however, that fewer oradditional steps than are recited below could be performed and that therecited order of steps is not intended to limit this disclosure.

Referring first to FIG. 4, a vertical incision VI is made in-line withthe face of the glenoid 14 at a location just lateral to the conjoinedtendon. The surgeon may inspect the glenoid 14 for bone loss anddetermine the appropriate size of the bone graft 28 by using the sizingblocks 36. For example, as schematically shown, the sizing blocks 36 maybe positioned one at a time within the joint 10 until the sizing block36 that best approximates the amount of bone loss is chosen. The chosensizing block 36 indicates to the surgeon the size of the bone graft 28that is necessary to reconstruct the glenoid 14. The amount of bone losscould alternatively or additionally be confirmed from preoperative CTscans of the joint 10. In one non-limiting embodiment, bone graftreconstruction of the glenoid 14 is performed if bone loss approaches15% or more at the anterior glenoid surface.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 5-6, the bone block 68 is positioned on thegraft workstation 34. The bone block 68 may be positioned on the graftworkstation 34 by driving a shaft 74 of the bone block 68 onto thespiked post 64 of the first graft holding post 52 and then moving boththe first graft holding post 52 and the second graft holding post 54within the first slot 60 to a desired positioning relative to the boneblock 68. The bone block 68 can be adjusted in rotation in multipleplanes until its concave surface 76 is positioned about perpendicular tothe cutting jig 56 (see FIG. 6). After correct position has beenconfirmed, guide pins 46 may be passed through the shaft 74 of the boneblock 68 via openings 78 formed in the first and second graft holdingposts 52, 54 to securely fixate the bone block 68 to the base plate 50of the graft workstation 34 (see FIG. 6).

In one non-limiting embodiment, the bone block 68 is a distal tibiaallograft. Distal tibia allografts are readily available from donortissue banks and include a radius of curvature that nearly matches thenative curvature of the glenoid 14. Therefore, distal tibia allograftsare particularly suited for use in reconstructing a damaged glenoid. Inone non-limiting embodiment, the bone graft 28 is harvested from thelateral one-third of the distal portion of the bone block 68.

FIG. 7 schematically illustrates selection of a first cutting block 38Afor making multiple cuts in the bone block 68 to size and shape the bonegraft 28. The size of the first cutting block 38A corresponds to thesize of the sizing block 36 previously used to estimate the amount ofbone loss associated with the glenoid 14. For example, if the magnitudeof the bone loss is estimated as being approximately 7 mm wide at thearticular surface with an opposing surface angle of around 15°, then thecutting block that is marked as 7 mm×15° is selected as the firstcutting block 38A.

In one non-limiting embodiment, the first cutting block 38A includes afirst slot 80A for making a first cut in the bone block 68 and a secondslot 80B for making a second cut in the bone block 68. The first cut maybe a vertical cut and the second cut may be an angled cut, as discussedfurther below.

Referring to FIG. 8, the first cutting block 38A may be connected to thecutting jig 56 to prepare to make cuts in the bone block 68. Thetelescoping arm 70 of the cutting jig 56 may then be lowered or raisedto move the first cutting block 38A into contact with an articularsurface 82 of the bone block 68. The cutting jig 56 may next be movedwithin the second slot 62 of the base plate 50 of the graft workstation34 until a cutter guide 84 that is received within the first slot 80A ofthe first cutting block 38A contacts the shaft 74 of the bone block 68.The cutter guide 84 can then be removed and a saw 86, such as anoscillating saw blade, may be inserted through the first slot 80A tomake a vertical cut C1 in the bone block 68 (see FIG. 9). The saw 86 maybe moved across an entire width of the first slot 80A to guide the saw86 as it makes the vertical cut C1. The vertical cut C1 forms a verticalwall of the bone graft 28.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the saw 86 may be inserted through the secondslot 80B to make an angled cut C2 in the bone block 68. The saw 86 maybe moved across a width of the second slot 80B to guide the saw 86 as itmakes the angled cut C2. The angled cut C2 cuts an angled wall on thebone graft 28 that will eventually mate with the defective portion ofthe glenoid 14. The first cutting block 38A may be removed from thecutting jig 56 after making the vertical cut C1 and the angled cut C2.

A second cutting block 38B may be attached to the cutting jig 56 andsubsequently positioned for making a horizontal cut C3 in the bone block68. This is depicted in FIG. 11. The saw 86 may be guided across acutting surface 90 of the second cutting block 38B to make thehorizontal cut C3. The horizontal cut C3 forms a horizontal wall whichestablishes the depth of the bone graft 28. In one non-limitingembodiment, the depth of the horizontal cut C3 is approximately 12 mm,although other depths are also contemplated.

The next step of the exemplary technique, shown in FIG. 12, includesdrilling holes 92 (best shown in FIG. 16) into the bone graft 28. Theholes 92 are subsequently used to aid attachment of the bone graft 28 tothe damaged glenoid 14. In one non-limiting embodiment, two holes 92 areformed in the bone graft 28, although any amount of holes may be formed.

The parallel drill guide 40A (without prongs) of the surgicalinstrumentation set 32 may be used to form the holes 92. Inone-non-limiting embodiment, the parallel drill guide 40A is positionedsuch that guide wires 42 that are passed through the parallel drillguide 40A are positioned just below the articular surface of the boneblock 68. The parallel drill guide 40A is removed after insertion of theguide wires 42, and the holes 92 may then be formed by advancing a drillof the surgical instrumentation set 32 over each of the guide wires 42(not shown).

FIG. 13 schematically illustrates the selection of a third cutting block38C for making additional cuts in the bone block 68 to size and shapethe bone graft 28. The size of the third cutting block 38C correspondsto the size of the sizing block 36 previously used to estimate theamount of glenoid bone loss. In one non-limiting embodiment, the thirdcutting block 38C is used to cut the bone graft 28 to the appropriatelength.

In one non-limiting embodiment, the third cutting block 38C includesslots 94A, 94B for cutting the bone graft 28 to a length L1 and slots94C, 94D for cutting the bone graft 28 to a length L2. Additional slotscould be provided through the third cutting block 38C for cutting thebone graft 28 to any desired length. In one non-limiting embodiment,length options of 22.5 mm, 14.5 mm or 19.5 mm are provided by the thirdcutting block 38C. The cuts made through the slots 94A, 94B, 94C, 94Dmay be vertical cuts, as discussed further below.

Referring now to FIG. 14, the third cutting block 38C may be connectedto the cutting jig 56. The telescoping arm 70 of the cutting jig 56 maythen be lowered or raised to move the third cutting block 38C into adesired position relative to the bone block 68. The cutting jig 56 mayalso be moved within the second slot 62 of the base plate 50 of thegraft workstation 34 until a post 98 of the cutting jig 56 contacts theshaft 74 of the bone block 68. The saw 86 may then be inserted andguided through each of slots 94A, 94B or through each of slots 94C, 94Dto make two additional vertical cuts C4 in the bone block 68. Thevertical cuts C4 form end walls of the bone graft 28.

Another parallel drill guide 40B (with prongs 99) of the surgicalinstrumentation set 32 may next be utilized to remove the bone graft 28from the bone block 68. This is schematically shown in FIG. 15. Theprongs 99 of the parallel drill guide 40B are inserted into thepreviously created holes 92 (best shown in FIG. 16) of the bone graft 28to extract the bone graft 28 from the bone block 68.

FIG. 16 illustrates the bone graft 28 after it has been sized, cut toshape and removed from the bone block 68. In one non-limitingembodiment, the bone graft 28 is generally trapezoidal shaped, althoughother shapes could alternatively be formed. The bone graft 28 mayinclude a vertical wall 100 (formed by the vertical cut C1), an angledwall 102 (formed by the angled cut C2), a horizontal wall 104 (formed bythe horizontal cut C3) and end walls 106 (formed by the additionalvertical cuts C4). The bone graft 28 also includes a curved wall 108that is formed by the native radius of curvature of the articularsurface 82 of the bone block 68. As is shown, the size and shape of thebone graft 28 closely matches the size and shape of the sizing block 36that was previously used to approximate the amount of bone loss (seeFIG. 4).

FIGS. 17, 18 and 19 schematically illustrate using the prepared bonegraft 28 to reconstruct the glenoid 14 of the joint 10. First, as shownin FIG. 17, the parallel drill guide 40A is used again to place guidewires 42 into the native neck of the glenoid 14 at a location below thearticulating surface of the glenoid 14. The parallel drill guide 40A isthen removed and the bone graft 28 is introduced over the guide wires 42by inserting the guide wires 42 through the holes 92 of the bone graft28 (see FIG. 18). The bone graft 28 is inserted until its curved wall108 is matched with the articular surface of the glenoid 14.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 19, fasteners 30 may be inserted through theholes 92 of the bone graft 28 to secure the bone graft 28 to the glenoid14. In one non-limiting embodiment, the fasteners 30 are cannulatedscrews that may be inserted over the guide wires 42. Suture washers 110may optionally be used to approximate the joint capsule to thereconstructed glenoid 14. All instruments are then removed and the woundclosed to complete the bone reconstruction procedure.

The surgical instrumentation set and techniques of this disclosureenable the safe and precise preparation of a distal tibial allograft forsubsequent use to reconstruct damaged bone. Free-handing may thereforebe avoided when sizing and shaping the bone graft.
